The first three mysteries featuring Detroit private investigator Amos Walker from the Shamus Award–winning "Stravinsky of hard-boiled prose" (John Lescroart).   Four-time Shamus Award winner and Edgar Award finalist Loren D. Estleman launches an irresistible mystery series for "readers who can't get enough of Elmore Leonard and Ross Thomas" ( People).   Motor City Blue: Vietnam vet, private investigator, and Bogart fan Amos Walker is scratching out a living looking for lost things in Detroit when he's asked to find the adopted daughter of an ex-mobster. The only clue is a faded pornographic snapshot of the missing girl. Never one to give up, Walker witnesses the kidnapping of a former Vietnam friend and solves the murder case of a young black labor leader while slugging his way to a solution.   Angel Eyes: Ann Maringer, an aging stripper still grinding in Detroit's low-end dives, hires Amos Walker to locate a missing person: herself. She expects to disappear any day now—and wants to be found. True to her word, Ann disappears the next day, leaving behind a carton of cheap cigarettes and a dead body. Unshaken by the body or the circumstances, Walker sets out to find his client. After all, she paid in advance. The Midnight Man: An ambush on Detroit's northwest side has left a police officer with a bullet lodged near his spine—and Amos Walker eager to bring the shooter to justice. He knows he's treading dangerous ground, but being targeted by Detroit's Finest is a twist he didn't see coming. Walker soon learns that between the crippled cop's sex-starved wife, militant rebels, the police, and a bounty hunter, trusting the wrong person could be a fatal mistake.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author's personal collection.
